Love is deeper than a picture

One funny... and maybe a bit weird & not-funny... thing happend to me the other day. A friend of mine has a (male) friend from Ghana. I've met this guy out in the clubs a few times. His a really nice dude. And one time I was joking with him that he should fix me up with a ghanian girl! Just a friendly joking around thing. But maybe I've learnt something from it. Cause a couple of month after that (a few days ago) my friend called me and said "I've got the pictures of your future wife" - and I was like "Whaaat?!" I had no clue what she meant, until I dropped by her place and gave me a couple of photos. "This is from my friend", she said. And I was like "Whaaaat?!" (again LOL). Apperently he had been taking me all serious and I thought he didnt even remember me...

Anyway, these photos showed a girl somewhere in Ghana.
What can I say - I've learnt something from it - people take me too serious sometimes! :) I mean, I wouldnt mind having a ghanian girlfriend, but I mean... I've heard that I was suppose to get this girl to Sweden and marry her, without even talk to her or meet her first... and it wasnt even she who contacted me, but her friend. LOL What can I say. I'm too serious about things that people take me too serious about this. I mean, I'm living in the "western world" but I can somehow understand the girl in Ghana and her friend in Sweden. 
But this is like stuff you read about in the news papers. Love is deeper than a picture.

Aaaaaw... feels like I've "painted myself in a corner" now - just me spinning my mind here! :)

So don't take me too serious, but take me serious in the same way, if you know what I mean!

Bless yall!

just make sure she's not a gold digging village girl looking for a cheap route out to greener pastures.

Too funny!

I think you need to clear that up, quickly! Once you're married, your future wife might not like you posting pictures of beautiful women up on the internet. ;)

As an African I know that Africans take marrige very seriously. So when you said it as a joke the person probably thought it was true :)
PS:Was the girl on the picture cute?lol

Yeah... marriage is something seriosu to me.. and I guess there is a diffrence between Africa and Europe... I mean... I wouldnt marry anyone just like that, someones friend that told me there was a girl wanna marry me.. I'd be like "Hehehe.. thats funny..." I mean I dont know this person, havent even talked to her at all... so I guess theres a diffrence... :)
She was pretty though... LOL

That's the way African muslims do,they marry a girl in their country but stay somewhere else making money if they have a green card they bring back theirs wives if not they just send money. They can spend ten years without seeing their families just pictures and phonecalls. That's the system they do marry just like that.

To trinibeauty:

One advice from one sister to another when you are getting to know a man on the internet you should be very careful to not be driven away by your emotions. Because other wise you find yourself living in a fantasy world. Especially when you never meet the guy. And you still live in Trini so how can you really get to know each other when you live so far away? Many people talk and call each other on the internet. Been there done that. But is superficial!! You can't expect that to be love. Love indeed is deeper than this internet networking thing. Dont confuse internet attention with love.

thanks Anonymous!!! I guess some things just happen to teach us lessons and this lesson is well learned on my half.....but my point in this is just to tell ppl to be real and not play with other ppls emotions...even if their thousands of miles away...

Trinibeauty, I think you play yourself with this. I mean how many time did the guy call/ email you? Daily, weekly? And I mean that HE called you, not you him. And did he promise you anything? This I tell all my friend especially you young girls. You cant chase a man. That's not a woman's role. when you are chasing a man you performing his role and will end up dissapointed. Let a man be a man. As long as the man didn't make any real commitment to you he cant play with your emotions. You just in the fase of knowing each other. After that the guy or you can still decide that you or he wants to date other person as long that he is not your boyfriend.. and you not his girlfriend.. Sorry but that is the reality

HE called,texted and emailed me daily....i mostly replied....so don't get this thing twisted it wasn't a matter of me chasing him....and yes he made promises....empty ones but they were made....and obviously i was a fool for believing them....but such is life...the ones you trust frick with your feelings and i know its on me that this shit happened............So thanks for the advice .....i learn something from every experience......

I agree with anon 11:21

As long as the dude dont say lets have a relationship or lets get married, he can date who he wants!! And I'm sure you not the only one he was calling. Thats the way men are. And that is not a bad thing. Men do this to know the girls and after that hopefully they pick one. If u dont believe me, just ask a man. Girls do that too!!!

Anonymous that may be some guys but not all. I found my last two wives from the internet, they used me had children with me and spat me out on the pavement to pick myself back up again. All i want in life is a happy family with a wife who loves me and to watch my children grow up. I granted custody of my son to my first marriage and my first wife was found to commit perjury and also has a warrant for her arrest still standing in the USA. My second wife teamed up with my first wife and brought her whole family out and took my house and everything my son and i owned. However again i have picked myself up and now met the most amazing woman in Ghana and while it is impossible to know if it will happen to me again i hold faith that this time i have met someone who feels the same way that i do. Each has been a lesson but to give up hope is to deny yourself and someone else the opportunity to really be happy.
